The steamer st. Paul has arrived from
Behring sea at SaniFrancisco, ana reports
that great fears are expressed in Ouna-
laska for the safety of the revenue cutter
Bear, commanded by Capt Maclay. In
the opinion of many it is doubtful if she
ever returns to Ounalaska, from which
port she sailed June 20. The Bear has
acquired great celebrity from her having
been one of the Greedy relief ships. She
left her harbor early in the spring with
orders to look after the Arctic fleet of
whalers, but soon after arriving at Ouna-
laska she sprung a bad leak near her bow,
aud water pour into her hold. Capt.
Maclay remained at Ounalaska in the
early days of June and for ten days re-
pairs were made. She sprang leak
again, however, but it was determined to
go north anyway, and to beach for re-
pains, if possible. When she sailed she
was leaking, and men had to be kept at
the pumps. 1t is said she was in no con-
dition to proceed north md battle with
the ice, and grave fears are felt for her.
The season has been late and cold beyond
precedent, and ice is further down in the
Behring sea than ever before. Up to
August nothing had been heard of the
steamer.

UNITED IRELAND urges landlords to en-
brace their last chance and confess that
Home Rule is inevitable. It advises them
to appoint a committee to meet Mr..
Gladstone, Mr., Parnell and Lord Sails
bury in q round-table conference and
submit to them suggestions regarding
their wishes, and to make the best of the
situation. The result will be, it says, the
election in few weeks of a HomeRule
House of Commons, and the opening of
an Irish Pertinent in 1888. If the land
lords fraternized with the National
League instead of screaming suppress
1t, they might sJIu Innuenoe the struc-
ture of the Home-Rule party Parliament,
which will follow whether the landlords
like or dislike it.

A COlOred Porter Crushed to Death
and Four Passengers Severely
Injured.
-Four Train Men Fatally Hurt in a
Wreck on the Baltimore and
Ohio.

PITTSBURGH, August 19.-About O'Clock
this morning the through express train
which left Chicago at SIS YESTERDAY
afternoon over the Fort Wayne and
Chicago Railway was wrecked at Bayard,
Ohio, on the Pittsburgh and Cleveland
Road, about eighty-one miles west of
Pittsburgh. When the train reached
Alliance, Ohio, it was found that the Fort
Wayne Road was INSTRUCTED by freight
wreck some miles east of Alliance and the

made up of three baggage and express
cars, one smoker, one passenger coach.
two Chicago sleepers and Toledo sleep
ing car called the "Topic," which was
attached to the rear of the train
After leaving Alliance, the train was
proceeding at the rate of thirty miles an
hour. As it swung around sharp curve
near Bayard, the rails spread, and the To-
ledo sleeper was derailed, falling on its
side. The two Chicago sIeepers also
jumped the track, but after running near
ly three hundred yards they were pulled
on again and escaped injury. When the
crash came the porter, o. Warner, ran TO
the forward platform and jumped, but
got off on the wrong side of the car, and
when it fell over on its side was buried
under it. Fortunately there were only
three passengers and the fiagmau on the
sleeper, and in the meantime they were
being tossed about the car like balls and
all seriously hurt.
When the train stopped, the passengers
and train men rushed back to ascertain
what damage had been done. The injured
were speedily removed from the car, but
no trace of the porter could be found. 1t

the wreck of the sleeper Work was i'm
mediately commenced, and the crushed
and mangled body was found. The
casualties we're as follows.

AT last intelligence regarding the miss
ing schooner Sea Bird has been received.
1t appears from the confession of an
Indian that Capt. Moore and his crew
were massacred by the Indians of Sey-
mour narrows. The ship was close to
the shore, when the Indians put out in
their canoes and bound the crew hand
and feet. They drank all the whisky on
board, and in their druken frenzy first
tortured and then massacred their vic
Tins. The sufferings of the captain,
who resisted the Indians, is described as
terrible. After carrying off everything
of value they fired the schooner to hide

The returns made to the national head
quarters of the Grand Army of the Re-
public for the fiscal year ending on the
31st of last March show that pecuniary
relief was afforded by the organization
to 26,606 persons during the year, of
whom 1907 were members Of the Grand
Army and $500 were either old soldiers
not members, or those dependent on old
soldiers or deceased veterans. The whole
amount so expended and reported reached
the sum of $253, 936.43. Is is estimated
that as much more was expended by local
posts for the same purpose, in an in
formal way, of which no record has been
kept. Thus it appears that this organiza-
tiop, so much illuminated of late, has
been doing a large amount of useful
charitable work.
A SPECIAL to the Journal from Repub

school house nearly completed was wreck

ruins. j. j. Tanning and man named
Allen, of Alma, were killed and six others
seriously injured, two fatally. W. A.
Wetherill's house was blown down and
his wife and two children buried sin the
debris and all more or less injured. Sew
eral other buildings were carried away
wrecked and several persons badly hurt.
The damage cannot now be estimated.

A Narrow Escape From a Great Loss
of Life-

PARKERsBURG, w. Va, March 16.-A
horrible accident occurred II miles from
here this morning, ON the Marietta Mineral
Railroad. A heavy mixed train had just
passed Vincent station, when the train was
divided in order to cross more safely tres
tie of 80 feet. The first section passed over
all right, when the engine, bearing the engin-
eer, III. S. Vincent, Fireman Albert Bushley,
Brakeman Stewart, Conductor Jack Mccoy
and passenger named Early returned for
section TIVE. When the highest point Of the
trestle was reached, the engine gave sud
den jerk and plunged straight down to the
abyss below. carrying all on board with it.
Nincent and Bushley were instantly killed.
dnelr bodies were scarcely recognizable.
Bushley had his head severed from his body,
ana one leg torn off, while Vincent was cut
IN TWO. Conductor Mccoy was under the
heaYy engine for nearly half an hour before
ne was taken out. The escaping steam pro-
Daply fatally scalded his head, face sand
body. Brakeman Stewart was terribly
scalded, and there are but faint hopes of his
recovery Early, the passenger, had both
legs broken and was injured internally. He
is said to be dying.
The place into which the engine plunged
is yaWnlng abyss, at the bottom of which
is q rocky stream. The section which the
engine was returning for had passenger
coaches loaded, and the loss of life would
nave been frightful had the accident hap
pened while returning with them.

SECRETARY ENDIcoTT.
Talks of All Sorts About the cIeve-
Iand-Endicott Trouble.

WASHINGTON, March. 16-The Baltimore
sun today, in connection with its refutation
OF the Endicott resignation yarn. says:
Tho best thing yet said has been by Gov.
Curtin, who remarked ON hearing the story
"Oh, no; Endicott does not come from that
part Of the country where they resign"
The Sun also says:
Shortly after the Inauguration Of Presi-
dent Cleveland, distinguished Boston Mug
wump. for whom the President entertains
high regard. called at the White House for a
little talk. He expressed himself as pleased
that the President had given place in the
cabinet to Massachusetts,, and commended
Mr.. Endicott as good man and gentleman.
But" said he, 'Mr. President, 1t will not do
for you to consult much with Mr.. Endcott,
for be knows no more about politics and
pyblie affairs than baby" The President
seems to have thought this advice worthy of
consideration, for he has gone straight along
and decided most everything that came be-
fore him from the war department without
so much as saying to Mr.. Endicott, "By your
leave, sir"
1t was mentioned in this correspondence a
day or two since that the cabinet all thought
the President had signed the river and har-
Dor bill. Mr.. Endicott never thought any
thing else, and when he heard the next day
that the President had killed the bill with
the pocket" veto without saying one word
to him on the subject, he was deeply cha
grined, and expressed himself quite freely
about it. Perhaps his visit to Boston was to
give himself time to cool off.

AUGUSTA, March 16.-Cattle Commits
sioners Galley and Bell of Portland passed
through Augusta to-day ON their way to
Portland. They had been in Garland, where
they found large herd of cattle in which
tuberculosis exists 1t was last Monday
night when DR.. Bailey received notice from
the selectmen of Garland that disease had
been discovered III herd of 2S grades cattle
belonging to John E. Hamilton. On Tues.
day Messrs. Bailey and Bell were in Garland.
Two heifers and COW were slaughtered and
found with unmistakable signs of tuber-
culosis, though the disease was not so far
advanced as in the cases at the State College.
About three years ago Hamilton intro
duced among his cattle an animal which was
probaly affected with tuberculosis. Within
year three cattle died; another animal died
this winter. Another animal which Mr..
Hamilton sold about year ago died from a
wasting disease. When the uproar came
this winter about the college herd Mr.. Ham
ilton began to think about his own herd.
Besides the animals killed in the herd a
few Others are coughing slightly. Dr. Bal
ley says the disease has been in the herd but
three years, and if the herd had been allowed
to remain with those animals in it as long as
did the college herd, there would have de-
veloped case of tuberculosis exactly par
allel to the disease at the college farm.
Mr.. Hamilton has determined to rid him
self entirely of the herd. Seven steers he is
now feeding for beef, which are to be
slaughtered before June 1st. The remain
der Of the Eerd will be turned to pasture,
and they will all be disposed of before an
other winter; none will be bred from. Mr..
Hamilton will start with an entirely new
herd of cattle, and will thoroughly disinfect
his premises. After these cattle are turned
out to pasture, they will not be allowed to
return to the stables.

LONDON, March 1G.-Further details Of the
attempt to assassinate the Car Of Russia
were published in London today. On Sun
day the route which was to have been taken
by the Car on his way to church was crowd
ed with gaily dressed people. Before the
imperial party left the fortress some police
officers telegraphed thither that they had
grave suspicious that violence would be at
tempted and advised their majesties to
change their route. Accordingly the royal
party drove by the way of the Neva quay, a
circuitous route, thus avoiding the town.
Meanwhile arrests were made at the corner
OF the Newsky prospect and the great Mors-
kaia, where the plotters expected the i'm
perial party would slacken its pace, upon
turning the corner. On Monday many Of
the 200 persons arrested were released. A
special council was held on Sunday night,
Grand Duke VIadimar presiding. The Ber-
lin Post takes a gloomy view Of the plot to
as sassinate the Car and says
with terror and regret we say that Europe
must prepare to see Russia adopt policy Of
despair. taking shape either in fatalistic
resignation or frantic adventures. The lat
